A loose connector will make your screen blue.

there are 3 easy ones to check
first buy some, if you don't have some already

There is a connector right near the rear of the license plate
disconnect it, check to see if the Pins are straight & that there is no corrosion, spray the contact cleaner into both parts of the connector.
Spray your trailer Connector while you are right there.

The next one is inside the tailgate, behind the camera itself, inspect & spray.

The next one can be found at the left rear tire, look at the rear of the tire, then look straight at the trucks frame, there is another connector around there.

The next one could be hidden behind your left foot kick panel
I have not looked for that one

Just a note on contact cleaner. It is highly flammable. Just ask an equipment operator who thought spraying it into a wet skill saw would dry it out. Needless to say, plugging it in and pulling the trigger was NOT a wise idea. It cost him his eyebrows.
